As I've said countless times, I love both writing and video games. Making a game by myself satisfies both of these. That said, I wish for quality and impact more than anything else. I believe anything, even if it's a video game (or an adult video game in The Arson Betrayal's context), can bring about the inspiration for change.

Ablesmith City is, of course, fictional. It isn't inspired by any real city anywhere in the world (although, if some resemblances do exist, I promise that it's completely unintentional). However, the struggles of our protagonists do occur in real life. An economy suffering from corruption leads to poverty; education is more of an expense rather than a right, and even those who are bound to uphold the law are the ones who abuse their authority over it.

I'll be honest. Anyone can play the game without giving thought to the deep context within. It's understandable. The Arson Betrayal, is first and foremost, an adult visual novel. Regardless of what the player wants when they play it, rest assured that I am truly honored that you have given time and attention to a game I worked hard to create.

I wanted to create every scene as realistically as possible, with every character written with individuality, and in a sense, to exude such personality in both their lines and expressions. I want to create a story that immerses the players in it.

That said, I want everyone to know of my plans for this game:

The Arson Betrayal will be split into different acts, each with five (5) chapters. Currently, we are in Act 1, Chapter 4 (Version 0.4.0). I've already planned the general idea/plot of what'll happen in these acts and the fate of the characters. I'm determined to see this thing through.

For my Patrons and Subscribers, I thank you for your support and hope for your continuous patronage. 

Making a game takes both time and money, and your support helps keep the game (and the developer) going. 

For the players of The Arson Betrayal, I hope you'll be able to share and spread the word about the game, either through recommendation or by leaving a review. Any feedback helps me determine what I can still improve, and what I can do to be better.

There's still a long road ahead, and I hope you will all be with me until the end and further, to new horizons.
